Rabbit had come to the city with a great sum of money.

It seemed that even with large purposes and the fund they entailed, Aster's distaste for city crowds won out, and he elected to send Rabbit instead of going himself. He wasn't, for whatever reason, concerned about her losing the money. She could not consciously act against his wishes, but even her best efforts may not have been sufficient to stop a thief... But either he assumed this was no issue, or the costs still managed to outweigh the benefits for him.

Approaching the cart, she listed off the items that she had been asked to gather. "Hello. I would like one Fire Injection, one Psychic Injection, and two Collars of Bonding." At this point she retrieved the money from within her body cavity, where it had been stored for safekeeping; it was the safest place she could think of, certainly. This, she presented to the shopkeeper to show him that she did indeed have the funds to make such a large purchase.

Alan looked up from the cart, and grinned quite wide. "Right to the point I see! Good." Alan humored, despite the customer being a robot. Then he bent below the cart, lifting up the injections and selecting the two that were desired, boxing them quickly. Then, he removed two collars of bonding from their storage area, boxing them as well. "Is there anything else I can do for you today?" Asking a robot may be a pointless endeavor, but ah well.

Rabbit handed over the funds straight away. It was what she had come to do, and she lacked the qualms about parting with such a sum that someone else might have had. Aster had looked at the money with a slightly pained expression before he had given it to her, muttering something under his breath, but it left her much more easily.

At the man's question, she paused a moment. Inclining her head, she said, "I was asked to inquire after your Collars of Speech." It was not a directive she had been given, precisely, but she had overheard the item mentioned, so perhaps sometime soon she would be asked to come here again with that purpose in mind.

She didn't have the money on hand to purchase any, but inquiring was free, and she could relay the information back to Aster when she returned, if nothing else. He could make his decision then.

Alan found robots quite rude. He wasn't really excited to see this one either, but hey, he wasn't in the business of refusing sales, wherever he could get them. Still, he glanced down at the 'funds', not having told the robot how much that it owed him, and narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat like he might be being cheated here. "We are out for this month, come back next month." He said, smoothly, keeping his wares close to the button. "They do sell oh so quickly..." He said, smoothly. "If this is all for you today, your total will be 1,450 credits." He eyed the bag carefully. He could count it himself, and of course would after the amount was given to him, but he wasn't in the business of being accused of theft for touching a bag given before he had even given the total. Robots.

Rabbit nodded, and said no more on the matter. She would relay the message and see what comes of it. In the meantime, the things she had been sent to buy were in stock, and all that was left to do was for her to pay.

It took her a moment to realize the reasoning behind the shopkeeper's hesitation for taking the money from her. Once she did, she opened the bag herself and counted out the correct amount of credits herself.

She had been given a little more than what she paid him, but not by more than perhaps one or two hundred credits--- this to budget for any small price changes or errors in Aster's memory from the last time he had visited, which by his own admission, had been quite some time. Once she was certain that the amount was what he had declared, she handed it over. "Will this be sufficient?" she said.

Alan watched the money being counted out, and then after being handed it quickly counted it himself, quite fast. Shop keepers seemed to be quite good at that. "Yes, this is correct." Alan grinned his typical seedy grin and then gently bagged up the items, sliding them over across the cart-top to the TRoD. "Thank you very much, I hope that you will return and check out for a Collar of Speech next month." That was that, right? Alan went back to what he had been doing before the exchange quite naturally.

Shoutbox

Morgan: No one knows yet. But I did want to make it clear that the jar itself isn't used for lotine husbandry in any way. c:Jun 5, 2020 4:24:19 GMT -6*

Twilight-Claw: I'm only assuming that it does something similar like a Fungal Beast that infects a Leaf-scatter. (the one with moss and I think it was a pink flower growing on the head.)Jun 5, 2020 4:18:34 GMT -6

Morgan: The lolatic doesn't disappear after one use, and can be reused on the same lotine when it is allowed to 'infect' a lotine- to my knowledge.Jun 5, 2020 1:41:37 GMT -6

Morgan: The only effect/thing that the jar can be used for is to open up into a lolatic. The jar itself has no use in lotine breedings.Jun 5, 2020 1:39:52 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: and the jar is then gone, if with the creature I am more guessing with this the creature doesn't disappear and it has unlimited use.Jun 5, 2020 0:17:55 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Something else I am wondering about with the Lotine breeding is whether one would use the jar the Lolatic comes from in the breeding, or actually the creature itself. I'm assuming with it if its the jar, then it gives people only one shot in a breeding, Jun 5, 2020 0:16:08 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Then using it in my rps is definitely just for the sake of rp's and not for anything additional. Jun 5, 2020 0:12:17 GMT -6

Renathan: There's no additional effect for adding a fish to a magical berry in a lotine breeding. Magical Berry is kinda it's own thing. Adding a fish for roleplay value shouldn't hurt, but it has no effect when used on a magical berry lotine breeding.Jun 4, 2020 22:27:14 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: be just for the sake of rp, and perhaps seeing if it might lent a bigger chance to multiple offspring with unique pattern. X3Jun 4, 2020 15:31:01 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: I think your right on it being unlimited use yeah, although.. *cough* I only found out a couple hours after I started writing that I had yet to buy the fish in question so used the one you could get for free as a replacement, it still was meant to mostly Jun 4, 2020 15:30:59 GMT -6

Riku: From what I loosely understand about the fish is that it isn't one-use, whereas the berry is. I feel like there wouldn't be any consequence of 'using' the fish...which I'd think just ooc wouldn't be counted for whatever rolls or whatever it is that it usesJun 3, 2020 14:14:30 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Thanks for that piece of info Ren! <3 | But would it be allowed for the flavor of the rp if the berry wasn't filling enough for the Lotine? Jun 1, 2020 6:09:21 GMT -6*

Renathan: There is no need to double up on a fish and a magical berry (doesn't change the effect of the berry at all) in a lotine breeding.Jun 1, 2020 6:02:21 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: Does anyone know if it is possible to combine both a magical berry and a fish in a Lotine breeding? Or is you can only choose one of them? (right now writing a Lotine breeding) Jun 1, 2020 5:36:49 GMT -6

Twilight-Claw: I am still interested in trading it for a green drake. Jun 1, 2020 0:31:33 GMT -6
